JULY 4TH: SOUL OF AMERICA
Who better to supply an all-American 4th of July soundtrack than our humble citizen selves? This year, we'll meet two soulful gentlemen who could only have come from the good ol' USA. Smokey Robinson talks about his voice and his timeless Motown singles with the Miracles, as well as the songs he wrote and produced for others: like "My Guy" for Mary Wells and the Temptations' "My Girl." And meet Mr. Wiggles, the king of Richmond, Virginia's "Fatback Sound." Also craftsman Charles Gillam who carves blues history out of Mississippi River driftwood. It's a red, white, and blues Independence Day... may the Fourth be with you!
